X-Men: Animated Series

Gambit’s appearance in the 1990′s X-Men series

Gambit was one of the starring X-Men characters in the X-Men animated television series of the 1990s, in which he was voiced by Chris Potter until Potter left in 1996 and was replaced by Tony Daniels until the series ended. In Slave Island, when Gambit, Jubilee and Storm were captured by Sentinels, he pretends to abandon the captured mutants, but only to escape and return to rescue them. One particular episodeTemplate:Days of the future past 1&2 (first season) features the time traveler Bishop. He accuses Gambit of betraying the X-Men by assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. The traitor is revealed to be the shapeshifting Mystique disguised as Gambit. This episode was clearly modeled after a combination of the Days of Future Past story arc (in which an alternate future version of Kitty Pryde traveled back in time to prevent Kelly’s assassination) and the buildup to the Onslaught crossover (in which Bishop accused Gambit of being the one who would betray the X-Men).[original research?] One episode explored Gambit’s past as a member of the Guild of Thieves, and his relationship with Bella Donna. Throughout most of the series, Gambit maintains a flirtatious relationship with Rogue, eventually telling her that he loves her in the episode ‘Reunion Part Two’.

Other episodes which featured Gambit include the “Sanctuary” series, which involve Professor X, Beast and Gambit going to Asteroid M to speak with Magneto. On the asteroid, the X-Men were blamed for the murder of Magneto and chased off the asteroid. Gambit stayed behind to give the others a chance to escape. He was later rescued by the X-Men. He also guest starred in Spider-Man in the 1990s in the fourth and fifth episodes of Season 2, along with the rest of the X-Men.

X-Men: Evolution

In the X-Men: Evolution animated TV series, Gambit appeared in a few episodes as a henchman of Magneto, and was voiced by Alessandro Juliani. This version of Gambit is noteworthy for taking liberties with the character, including his origins. Originally, his flirtatious moments with Rogue were meant to be a reference to their relationship in the comics. Towards the end of the show’s run, an episode featured Gambit kidnapping Rogue in an attempt to manipulate her into helping him rescue his adoptive father, Jean-Luc, after he was kidnapped by the Rippers (the Assassins Guild). Gambit, however, soon becomes protective of Rogue once he notices Jean-Luc’s amazement of her powers. They part ways at the end on friendly terms, giving Rogue his favorite card, the Queen of Hearts.

In his first appearance, Gambit appeared with normal eyes (black iris and white sclera, as seen in the picture), which were later modified into how they look in the comics (black sclera and red iris).

Gambit shares a kiss with Rogue, when she was possessed by Mesmero in the Season 3 finale (though it was only done so she could take his powers). In a photograph portrait, Gambit is a new member of the X-Men (With an arm around Rogue), along with other new members such as Colossus, Angel, Boom Boom, and X-23. Remy states in the episode that his favorite playing card is the Queen of Hearts., whereas in the ’90s animated series and comics, it is also widely believed that his favorite card is the Ace of Spades.

Wolverine and the X-Men

Gambit inWolverine and the X-Men

Gambit is a guest character in Wolverine and the X-Men, in which he is portrayed as a freelance thief and saboteur for hire. His first appearance was in the episode “Thieves Gambit” voiced by Phil LaMarr. He first appears as a thief for hire, who steals a mutant power dampening collar invented by Forge and sells it to Dr. Sybil Zane and Bolivar Trask to use in the Sentinel Program. Wolverine convinces him to help him retrieve it, though he later escapes the fight without the collar. He appears again in “Aces and Eights” seducing Polaris and attempting to steal Magneto’s helmet, as well as placing explosives to damage Genosha’s facilities. At the end of the episode he leaves Polaris, stating he’s not the man she thinks he is and that this is the way the world is, however he is not seen for the rest of the season.Like in earlier cartoons, Gambit has a strong Cajun accent and wears the usual body armor and coat. His relationship with Rogue is yet to be seen, as well as whether or not he will be a regular team member in season 2.

“The Super Hero Squad Show”

Gambit will appear in The Super Hero Squad Show voiced by Maurice LaMarche.

Films

Taylor Kitsch as Gambit from X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

In X2, his name was seen on a screen among a list of other mutants when Mystique hacks the system of William Stryker for information on different mutants. Stuntman James Bamford filmed a cameo as Gambit before it was cut. Instead, this was added to Chris Claremont’s novelization of the X2 movie. The book itself never mentions Gambit by name, but he is shown as one of the mutants seen being affected by Dark Cerebro’s activation. He is playing cards in a New Orleans bar when he suddenly falls in pain and causes a table to explode. In the X3 novelization, he is a new student at the mansion being trained by Wolverine, along with Cannonball, Danielle Moonstar, and Sage.

An early leaked script suggested that Gambit would be included in X-Men: The Last Stand as both the new recruit and Iceman’s romantic rival for Rogue’s affection.[citation needed] Josh Holloway was offered the role but declined it due to scheduling conflicts on Lost.[citation needed] An interview with producer Lauren Shuler Donner reveals that Channing Tatum auditioned for the role, before the character was cut. In an interview with Wizard magazine, WWE professional wrestler Gregory ‘The Hurricane’ Helms said that he had planned to read for the part before the change of producers and director. According to the audio commentary of X-Men: The Last Stand, Gambit was to appear in the prison convoy scene of the movie, before the character was cut. In the commentary of the movie the director reveals that they did seriously consider putting Gambit in the movie but decided against it as they thought it was too small a role for such a big character.[citation needed] Lauren Shuler Donner revealed that James Franco auditioned for the role in X-Men: The Last Stand but didn’t get the role before the character was cut.[citation needed]

Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch plays Gambit in director Gavin Hood’s 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the storyline Remy LeBeau is a former prisoner of William Stryker for 2 years, who was dubbed ‘Gambit’ from his guards as he kept beating them in poker. After two years he managed to escape the facility, but was later confronted by Wolverine, who wanted to know where Stryker’s base was to destroy it. Gambit, mistakenly believing he was sent to recapture him, attacked and later interrupted a fight between Wolverine and Sabertooth, inadvertently letting Sabertooth escape and robbing Wolverine of his revenge. After Wolverine defeats him, Gambit sees he is sincere and flies him to Stryker’s base. At the conclusion, Gambit briefly returns to his side, and, after Wolverine’s memories are lost, tells him his ‘name’: Logan. He offers to help get Logan and Silverfox’s body off the island, but Logan turns him down, stating he can find his own way.

In Origins, his trademark brown trench coat has been rendered to a dark brown leather duster, the character does not wear gloves or boots, and his signature red on black eyes have been reduced to normal colored eyes that merely glow red when he uses his power (mainly because the producers felt his eyes would be too distracting). Gambit’s powers are also altered slightly, in that the objects he charges do not seem to explode, instead merely hitting with much more forceis playing cards hit with enough force to knock people through brick walls, he can strike the ground to create an impact wave to send his foes flying, and he can charge his staff to cleanly punch holes in walls to climb them without damaging the staff. This version of Gambit seems to be lightly inspired by the Ultimate X-Men version of the character, who is a retired thief and sports a “cleaned up” accent that is a Southern/Cajun mix.

Taylor Kitsch has subsequently expressed interest in returning for a “Gambit movie” and/or even X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2,, although nothing has been confirmed yet. He stated in an interview with MTV that he “would love to go darker” and went on to say “Gambit in Vegas was fun but, I want to go into the Thieves Guild part of his story”.[citation needed]

Stryker’s soldiers and four-armed, blade-wielding, female mutants who work for Gambit.

Toys

Gambit has had many action figures produced of him since his comic debut, the first being released less than a year after his first appearance.

The first was released in 1992 in Toy Biz’s X-Men toy line. He featured a removable plastic trench coat, staff, and had a kicking action feature when a button on his back was pressed. This figure was re-released in the first X-Men Classics line.

The second Gambit figure had a much better sculpt[citation needed], and had a non-removable vinyl trench coat. He also came with his trademark staff, and also had an action feature. This time it was a light-up feature, with which he could appear to be throwing several playing cards. This version also had a variant, which featured Gambit wearing a blue and yellow uniform, meant to resemble the original X-Men uniforms.

Gambit was also featured in the X-Men Robot Fighters sub-line, which was meant to simulate the various characters training in the Danger Room. This version of Gambit did not come with a coat or staff, but did come with a training robot that he could battle.

He was also featured in the X-Men Power Slammers line, wearing the Shi’ar armor that he wore during the “Trial of Gambit” storyline.

Gambit also had an exclusive release in the BJ’s Wholesale exclusive X-Men Strike Team set, which featured all the X-Men characters wearing the classic blue and yellow X-Men uniforms.
